I've got no problem with a different opinion, BlueHummingbird. I've got no problem with an opposing opinion, either. In fact, I'd like to hear why you think I'm shutting others out. But after 32 years of hearing "WW3 is coming, WW3 is coming", not to mention the years before I was born, when is it going to get here? It's like living with a parrot that only knows one phrase and keeps repeating it over and over and over...
So, what is this viewpoint you have? I've read your original post. Could you elaborate on why you think the advent of space-age weapons will make the world's governments more likely to go to war?
(As a sidenote, why does everyone think the US will start "the Big One"? There are plenty of terrorists all over the world who would launch a major nuclear strike given half a chance. Ours are just elected and, theoretically, accountable.)
